Comparisons of Participants' Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Scores Between and Within Groups

A visual analog scale is a pain assessment tool where individuals mark their pain level on a horizontal bar ranging from 0 to 10. The starting point of the scale indicates the absence of pain, while the end point indicates that the pain is unbearable.

This table shows the woman's pain scale assessment.

Comparisons of Participants' Richard Campbell Sleep Scale (RCSQ) Scores Across and Within Groups

The Richard Campbell Sleep Scale assesses the depth of sleep, the time it takes to fall asleep, the frequency of waking, the duration of wakefulness upon waking, the quality of sleep, and the noise level in the environment. Each item on the scale is scored on a scale of 0 to 100. A score of "0-25" indicates "very poor sleep," while a score of "76-100" indicates "very good sleep." When calculating the total scale score, the scores from the 5 items are added together; the noise level in the environment is not included in the total score calculation.
